What's In Jade's Beach Bag

Hello It's 2 Peas In A Pod Blog Here,

There is nothing like going to a gorgeous beach on a hot summers day! Well, I can't say it's all white sand and deep blue sea here in England... but we do have good fish and chips. So, I guess it has its pros and cons! Anyway, as we have been blessed with a glorious summer this year, I have found myself going to the beach more often! So, I thought it would be a great idea to share what is in my beach bag.

Firstly, my beach bag is this really cute deep blue Ted Baker bag. My mum bought me this with the matching flip-flops. I love this bag and I love the fact it is waterproof because its that plastic material that makes it easy to brush off the sand and water.  I would recommend this bag.

The next thing in my beach bag is something that takes up most of the room. It is my beach towel. Can we appreciate the pug? I have to admit to getting this picture was not easy! It is essential you bring a towel because then you can wipe off the sand!

Suncream is a must have in anyone's beach bag, especially mine. I burn so easily so I always have to lather myself in suncream. I usually use factor 50 but as you can see this is a factor 15. It's because it is my mums and mine had run out! Bring suncream!!

A book is something that is always in my beach bag because it gives me something to do on the beach. I love the sound of crashing waves whilst I get lost in a cracking book. In my beach bag this time I brought 'Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine' I loved this book so much. On first impressions, I found it a slow starter and struggled but about halfway through I could not put it down. Highly recommend this book.

The final thing I always bring in my beach bag is a bottle of water. It is essential to keep yourself hydrated when it is boiling hot outside. So, I always pack one in my beach bag so I can have a drink on the beach to cool myself down.

I hope I have given you some ideas on what to pack in your beach bag this summer! Have a great time at the beach and remember to stay hydrated! What is your summer essential in your beach bag?

5 Tips To Enjoy Summer

Hello It's 2 Peas In A Pod Blog Here,

Hello everybody! Welcome back to our blog, how is your day going? As you all know it's now summer, and the weather here in England is lovely, so hot and sunny! So, what better way to celebrate the gorgeous weather than write a blog post about the 5 best tips to enjoy summer.

The fist tip to enjoy summer is to create a summer playlist. We love creating playlists, our summer playlists contains all our favourite music plus songs that we are loving right now. We both listen to music in our cars whilst we're driving and having a great summer playlist makes driving better!

The next tip to enjoy summer that we have is to have a bit of  'me time' and relaxing. Whilst the weather is so nice, there's nothing better than having 'me time' in the sun. Lydia's favourite way of relaxing is to sit outside sunbathing (and in shade when she gets too hot) reading. It's nice to just take a while out to relax.

Another tip is to spend time with friends. There's nothing better than spending time with your close friends catching up and having a laugh. It's so nice to enjoy the sunshine whilst catching up with friends.

Our fourth tip is to have ice cream. Ice cream is our favourite thing in summer, it cools you down when it gets really hot plus is just amazing! There are so many different flavours and all different types. You can also make your own ice cream or ice lollies.

The fifth and final tip to enjoy summer for this blog post is to go out and enjoy the weather, whether it is going to the local park or to the seaside, it's great to get out the house especially when the weather is so nice! The park or seaside are great places to spend time in summer.

So, that's the end of this blog post. We hope these tips have helped you. What are your tips for summer and the lush weather. We hope you enjoyed this blog post and thank you for reading!

Brighton 2017

Hello It's 2 Peas In A Pod Blog Here,

                              


Hello everyone and welcome back to our blog! It's Jade & Lydia here. Today we are going to talk about our trip to Brighton. On the 11th May, we both went to Brighton for a few days. We also stayed at Eastbourne. We have both been so excited to visit Brighton. Lydia had been before but it was Jade's first time in Brighton. We decided to be proper tourists and visit all the places that people rave about. Warning there are many photos in this blog post.

When we arrived and checked into our hotel we both decided to explore the beautiful seaside town. We had both heard a lot about the Lanes so we got up our trusted google maps on our phones and followed the directions. Can we just say without google maps on our phones we would have been lost multiple times. We didn't realise how much we relied on that app until we looked back onto the trip.

                                                   

We absolutely loved all the unique and quriky shops. We also stopped off at a little cafe and had a red velvet cake each and an oreo milkshake. That milkshake was one of the best milkshakes we had ever tasted! After our trip down the lanes, we decided to take a visit to the Brighton Pavillion. We walked around the gardens and admired the stunning architecture. 

After the Pavillion, we wondered down to the beach to have a look at the piers. We did plan on going to the big Brighton pier, however, it was boiling and walking across a pebble beach took our energy away. So we sat on the beach for a "10-minute" break which turned into 45-minute break. However, it was so calming and relaxing to just sit by the sea and take in the beautiful scenery. 

Sitting on the beach seemed a perfect opportunity to take some flat lays of the photo booth pictures that we took in a little shop down the lanes. Some of the pictures we took were funny. Our faces. 

After our time on the beach, we visited the west pier and took a few photos. After that, we were desperate to have a shower so we freshened up and headed out for dinner. 

                           

                           

The next morning we woke up early and got ready for the day ahead. We also listened to Radio 1 and heard Harry Styles new album, which may we say is AMAZING. We were greeted with heavy rain, this did not put us off of our adventures around Brighton.

                            

 So In the morning, we went for a stroll down the pier. Funny story Jade had her camera with her and took off her lens cap and accidentally dropped it and on the pier, the "floor" is wooden planks with gaps in between them showing the sea. The gaps are tiny like really tiny and could literally fit a lens cap through it. The lens cap hit the gap and bounced off and fell flat on the wooden plan. Luck was well on our side!

We also went and watched the I360 go up, quite amazing really. 

We then went around the other part of the lanes and went into Choccywoccydoodah. It was quite expensive but Jade bought a white chocolate rice crispy vanilla fudge chocolate bar and some toffee chocolate bites for her Mum. Lydia bought a triple layer chocolate bar, toffee pieces and chocolate buttons for her parents. 

We then decided to treat ourselves more by getting some ice cream. We popped into Boho Gelato. Jade had raspberry and elderflower gelato and Lydia had salted caramel gelato. Both were really nice and we could eat them again and again. Sadly we don't live in Brighton, so we can't.

We then went to 42 juices and we both got a healthy green juice and ginger shot each. All we can say was having our first ginger shot was an experience that we will never experience again. It was absolutely horrible. Burned our throat. 

Then we finished the morning off by going to Bills where we had a full English breakfast. We then went shopping in the town and Lydia tried her first bubble tea. We also bought Dum Dum Doughnuts but we spoke about them in our previous blog post. If you would like to read more about them the click here

So that is it. Thank you for reading this blog post hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed the trip away. We also stayed in Eastbourne the night after but didn't take many pictures. We mainly re-lived the Angus Thongs And The Perfect Snogging scenes.
